The atmosphere in the room has changed slightly, although the tea is still the same, and the smiling faces of the people are still the same, but everyone can feel that under all this normal calm, there seems to be something that is about to move. Of course, Gu Dingchen would not think that Yang Chengzu would be angry with him, not to mention the identity of the minister, just to say that he was here to ventilate, and the other party would not treat him as an enemy.

This is a smart man, not a powerful and brainless martial artist, but there is also a record of killing the commander of the soldiers and horses of the six products and five cities on the street in a fit of anger.

What can be confirmed, a kind of murderous aura spreads in the room, as a cabinet minister, this kind of pressure is not frightening, but Gu Dingchen or the cabinet does not want things to really get to that point. He came today, of course, because of his personal friendship, and also because of the wishes of the cabinet, and if he was elected, everyone hoped that peace would be valued and that the world would be peaceful. If you make trouble with each other and turn your face and go to the knife, then no one really wants to.

It was common for civil servants in the Ming Dynasty to lead troops, and there were many civil officials in the court who led troops on the nine sides, or pacified civil unrest during their tenure, not because they did not know soldiers or had no courage. However, even those governors who had brought troops from the Nine Sides to the interior did not have this kind of aura on their bodies, or they would not really spread this aura in front of their colleagues.

It is common for everyone to have opinions and even opposing views, but everyone is a person in the system, and all problems, no matter how big or small, must be solved by rules within the system. If you don't agree with each other, pull out your knife and pounce on it, then you will do it, and it is not a means of officialdom.

No matter how murderous you are, what's the use of being in front of your colleagues? This kind of expression of anger, whether it is a temporary uncontrollable emotion, or a demonstration in front of Gu Dingchen, if it is the latter, it is inevitable that this Sixth Pavilion elder will not be taken seriously. In short, in this moment, Gu Dingchen had already turned dozens of thoughts in his heart, and on the surface, he pretended not to see it.

Yang Chengzu didn't care about Gu Dingchen's mood swings, his fingers tapped lightly on the table, and said to himself:

"I think, most of it wasn't for the sake of killing the widows, Yang Shen was also there at the time, if it was for this incident, wouldn't it be even Yang Xindu's face slapped together? Xie Zun, it can't be. It is a great crime, and the evidence is ironclad, and if there are many melons and vines, I don't know how many heads will be cut off, and no one will mention it again. Since it is impossible, it must happen after Yang Shen leaves, and only the Franc machine is left. Why, am I in the court and become a traitor? ”

Gu Dingchen smiled on his face, and his tone was still calm, "It's not the court, but some foolish people among the people, Yang Dudu knows that there are always some idlers in Beijing who like to make trouble out of nothing." A few days ago, a group of Franco-emissaries came, and then the prince of Manraka ran to the Ministry of Rites to cry, and I don't know whose way he went, but he actually spread this matter to the streets and alleys of the capital division, and there were still many people among the people who sympathized with them. But the most ferocious thing is a group of showmen. ”

The reason for this was actually a few days ago, when the envoys of Francois came to Beijing to pay tribute to the Ming court. On the surface, he claimed to have accepted the commission of the Manraka people, hanged the people, and helped the Manraka people expel the tyrannical prince and install another popular royal family. It belongs to the right attack, not the embezzlement for no reason, this time into Beijing is also to come to pay tribute and ask for sin, the posture is very low, and it is absolutely deferential. Another important factor is to ask the Son of Heaven to use the treasure for the Ming Buddha and Macao Treaty, and replace it with an official diplomatic document.

This is also part of the Macau agreement, which requires the Francois to take an attitude to calm the anger of the Ming court and prevent this matter from really getting worse. It's not really an envoy who comes, it's just a Portuguese captain who comes here to go through the motions, and then everyone gets rich. The Macao Treaty also needs to go through such a formality in order to be truly legalized.

The captains who went to Daming to do trade were basically outlaws. As long as there is ten times the seal is returned, even if he scolds the ancestors of the Portuguese king for three generations, etiquette and the like are taught by the Ministry of Etiquette, and the face of the Ming Dynasty is very sufficient, unlike my Qing Dynasty in another time and space, foreigners come to worship, and they don't even bother to kowtow. However, there is no trivial matter related to foreign affairs, and as soon as the content of this treaty was made public, it still caused an uproar in Beijing.

The sense of mission to protect the land, or the innate resistance and contempt for the Yi people, suddenly evolved into an atmosphere of expelling Buddha and protecting moats in the Jingshi. The old accounts of the Francophiles have also been turned over one by one, from looting in the local area to plundering the population, and all kinds of evil deeds. Yang Chengzu, who presided over the agreement by the way, became a scum traitor.

The factors behind this, of course, are driven by simple patriotic feelings, but the more important reasons are the backlash at the bureaucratic level triggered by factors such as the development of Yang Ji, the fall of the Xie family, and the government's intention to operate maritime trade. The Ming Buddha Trench Treaty can only be regarded as a fuse, but the noise caused by it is indeed a bit big.

"Now in the capital, a large group of Xiucai come out to make trouble every day, thinking that the court is the common lord of the four seas, and they want to uphold justice for their vassals, and send troops to help the king of Manraka to restore the throne. There are also people who actually understand the sea charts, saying that Manraka is located in the South Seas, choking the throat of the South Seas, and being controlled by the Buddhas, will cut off the tributary road of the South Seas. In order to ensure the smooth passage of tribute, it is also necessary to expel those Yi people and teach them a lesson. Then, someone mentioned Tuen Mun and the trench, saying...... It is said that Yang Dudu was bribed by the Buddha in Tuen Mun, so he sold the land to the Buddha Lang Jiren. For example, if you let go of most of the Franc machine captives and did not kill them, but instead hired Franc machine craftsmen with a lot of money, and kept the city of the Franc machine, it was clear that it was a chance for those people to resurrect, in short, they wanted to find a reason, and they always found it. ”

Yang Chengzu nodded to show his understanding, no matter when, the main battle faction is always better than the main and faction, especially the imperial court has been winning the battle since the beginning of the killing of the Japanese, coupled with Yang Ji's propaganda and inducement, so that the people have a feeling that the Ming Dynasty is invincible in the world.

This is actually Yang Chengzu's idea, through this kind of propaganda to increase the confidence of the people, and indirectly improve the cohesion of the imperial court. But now it seems that confidence seems to be a bit excessive, making everyone a little blind, and when they encounter any problems, they are already thinking about using force to solve them.

Yan Song echoed on the side, "That's true, there are also people in the Guozi Prison who have begun to make trouble, and they have already sent a few letters to the General Administration, either asking for war, or asking for a strict investigation of Yang Dudu. ”

"I don't know what the cabinet's opinion is, what Yang Xindu means, is also to find out?" Yang Chengzu looked at Gu Dingchen, dignified and old, he came here today, it will definitely not be to spread gossip in the streets, and the attitude of the cabinet is far more important than the public opinion of the people. Since you want to fall into the well, then I might as well see if you all have the courage to push the stone in front of me.

Gu Dingchen waved his hand again and again, "Governor Yang, don't get me wrong, the new capital is not what you think." However, Mu Xiu will be destroyed by Lin Feng, Yang Dudu is still young, if it is too smooth, it is actually not a good thing. Suffering some tempering and setbacks is not a bad thing for the future. You have done a very good job in Jiangnan, but because you are so good, it is easy to become the target of public criticism. Taking a step back at this time is actually a means to protect yourself. What Yang Ge means is that after Yang Dudu pays the decree tomorrow, those people will come out to speak, and you will confess your guilt in a book, and then retire from the Jinyi Guard to train soldiers for the Heavenly Family. After a few years, the resumption will not hurt the future of the Grand Governor. ”

"This matter was originally what the Prime Minister of Sheng'an wanted to talk about, he and the governor have been in the southeast for more than a year, and they are very familiar with each other, so it is more appropriate to do this. However, the old man felt that although the son of Sheng'an was a talented man, he might not be good at doing this, so he begged for an order in front of the new capital minister, and brought in Brother Wei to be a middle-aged person. ”

Yan Song also smiled and explained in a gentle tone, indicating that this arrangement was not a trap, nor was it malicious, in short, it was for Yang Chengzu's consideration. Not only can you avoid this peak, so that you will not really hate and fall in the next pursuit, but you can also continue to contribute to the country, which can be called beneficial to the country and the people, killing two birds with one stone.
