Chapter 450: Open the Sea
Just after the Qingming Festival, Wang Tiqian led people to Suzhou again, and in a month and a half, he traveled twice and galloped thousands of miles. almost wore out the crotch of Wang Tiqian's pants, and the pampered chief eunuch suffered a crime.
However, Wang Tiqian is as willing as a glutton, and the biggest fat shortage in the world is beckoning to him......
Zhang Ke and the southeastern officials and gentry were sent to the capital one after another, and they unanimously demanded the opening of the city and direct trade with the West.
This is a big thing, after the sea is opened, what should I do if the people pour in? What if the people are dedicated to business and no one is farming? What if unscrupulous businessmen collude with bandits and cause trouble along the coast......
In the past, these arguments alone were enough to quarrel for several years, endlessly, over and over again, that is, no one was willing to seriously study whether the opening of the sea was good or bad, and the so-called clear stream would only instinctively oppose the change of Yiqiē, and the way of Confucius and Mencius would be stubborn as a stone.
Fortunately, this pass is too good at the moment, Wei Zhongxian cleaned up the Donglin Party, and the court was cleared.
Moreover, Lao Wei did not stop, and began to let people revise the "Three Dynasties Classics", mainly to recharacterize the three major cases of striking, red pills, and moving the palace. The Donglin Party relied on these three major cases to crack down on dissidents, portray themselves as the protectors of the emperor, and seize the credit for decision-making, so as to control the government in one fell swoop.
If Lao Wei wants to completely solve the Donglin Party, he must break the halo on their heads and abolish the work of making decisions, so he let Gu Bingqian take the lead and revise the "Three Dynasties Classics".
Among them, the attack case occurred in the forty-third year of Wanli, there was a person named Zhang Cha, who broke into the prince's bedroom with a wooden stick and injured the eunuch guarding the door, which was originally blamed on Zheng Guifei, thinking that she sent someone to assassinate the prince.
And the new version is that although Wanli did not make the crown prince as much, he cared for Zhu Changluo and could not let a crazy person assassinate the prince.
As for the red pill case, that is, Zhu Changluo took the pill offered below before he died. As a result, he died violently. At that time, the Donglin Party pointed the finger at Fang Congzhe, the first assistant, accusing him of killing his father and forcing Fang Congzhe to step down.
No matter what, it is definitely a big scandal that the dignified son of tomorrow died of the pill he was taking, and he died violently after being on the throne for a month.
Therefore, the new statement is that the Donglin Party is cunning and substituting, framing Fang Congzhe, and has bad intentions.
Finally, there is the case of moving the palace. That is, after Zhu Changluo's death, he left his beloved Li Xuanzhi to live in the Qianqing Palace and assist the young Apocalypse. However, the Donglin Party thought that Li Xuanzhi was very dangerous, and even had the ability to become Wu Zetian's chaotic government, so Yang Lian and others drove Li Xuanzhi away.
In the new statement, it is believed that it is not difficult to move the palace, and that the Donglin Party deliberately complicates the matter, just to aggravate Li Xuanzhi's fault for starvation, so as to enhance the support of the Donglin Party
……
Suzhou prefect Yamen. Zhang Ke leaned on the recliner and shook comfortably.
Beside him, Shen Qingyan held the newspaper and read the news of the court clearly, when he recited the revision of the "Pharmacopoeia of the Three Dynasties". I couldn't help but stop.
"Yongzhen, in just a few years, why did you make such a big turn? At that time, I still remember that there was a commotion in the capital. All kinds of gossip are everywhere. If nothing else, Emperor Wanli doesn't like the first emperor, this is a well-known thing. Why has it been changed to father-loving and filial piety now? ”
"Hehehe, when the first emperor ascended the throne, I was also in the capital, right or wrong, it doesn't matter anymore!" Zhang Ke sighed and said with a smile: "A few years ago, the Holy Lord had just ascended the throne, and he had not yet recovered from the pain of losing his father, and a trembling new monarch urgently needed to prove his legitimacy, so he would tolerate the Donglin Party slandering Wanli, slandering Zheng Guifei and Li Xuanzhi, in order to emphasize his legitimacy." But now five years have passed, His Majesty has sat firmly in his position, learned to see things from the perspective of the emperor, there is no hatred, no fear, what he wants to maintain is the royal system! ”
"Physique?" Shen Qingyan asked with a twisted eyebrow.
"Do you think about it, a crazy person went to the palace to assassinate the crown prince, and what did he think of the Forbidden City, the vegetable market? Father and son cannibalism, or mother and son? It's a shame to put it in ordinary people's homes! The first emperor was the father of the saint, and he died after a month on the throne, so it is said that he took the red pill by mistake and died violently. Doesn't this mean that the first emperor must not die well! As for the palace transfer case, Yang Lian even compared Li Xuanzhi to Wu Zetian, if Li Xuanzhi is Wu Zetian, isn't it Li Zhi today? ”
Zhang Ke smiled contemptuously: "The so-called family ugliness should not be publicized, and the Donglin Party was too much to publicize it in order to seize the merit of the policy!" As a result, I don't know how to converge, and I blindly use it to frame my opponent! They are consuming the ugly thing of the royal family, the dragon has reverse scales, and it will die when it is touched, and when the saint understands it, it is when the Donglin Party is unlucky! ”
Shen Qingyan was stunned for a long time before he suddenly realized.
"It makes sense, Yongzhen, I didn't see it, you think people's hearts so thoroughly!"
"Then it doesn't need to be said, otherwise how will I lead the troops to fight and how will I tame the southeast!" Zhang Ke said stinkily.
Shen Qingyan glanced at him, and said with a coquettish smile: "Yongzhen, since you are so capable, are you afraid of offending the emperor's scales?" ”
Zhang Ke suddenly stretched out his big hand, grabbed Shen Qingyan's jade hand, and said with a smile: "Do you want me to touch the scales?" ”
"Of course I don't want to, people are still looking forward to being with you for a long time!" Shen Qingyan said as thin as a mosquito, her little face was flushed, and she was cute.
"Hahaha, it's late, I've already touched the green smoke!"
"Ahh
The newspaper fell to the ground in an uproar, Shen Qingyan was suddenly stunned, staring at Zhang Ke in a daze, a mist rose in her eyes, and she was so anxious that she almost cried, the emperor was in her heart, that was a golden mouth, a demigod who said a word, and he was very noble!
"Yongzhen, don't scare me?"
Zhang Ke looked at the beauty in horror, started from the recliner, hugged her shoulders, put his lips to his ears, and laughed softly: "Silly girl, I am different from those stupid defects of the Donglin Party." The emperor wants to cut off my head, but it's a pity he doesn't have the knife! ”
……
On the eighth day of the fourth month, the auspicious day of the zodiac, it is also the opening ceremony of Songjiang City. Zhang Ke, the new weaving eunuch of Suzhou and Hangzhou, oversaw the Jiangnan Taxation Inner Court Bell Wang Tiqian, Ying Tian Governor Mao Yilu, and Songjiang Prefect Deng Wentong......
A cadre of important officials, plus all kinds of wealthy businessmen, gentry and celebrities, a total of thousands of people, stood together in front of the brand-new city and the yamen.
In front of the Huangpu River is the Huangpu River, the wide river surface is full of white sails, and there is no end in sight, like the Great Wall on the sea, and countless birds fly by in the sky, adding countless joy.
On the wharf, in addition to merchants from all over the Ming Dynasty, there are also blond Westerners, Arabs wrapped in turbans, and Africans who are darker than carbon.
It was close to noon, and only a shout was heard:
"Auspicious time, arrived!!"
"Hahaha, princess, let's unveil it together!"
"Dare to disobey!"
Several people pulled the red silk together, and with a gentle pull, several large characters with iron and silver hooks appeared in front of them.
"Songjiang City Bureau!"
Under the sun, the golden light is shining and extremely dazzling. The Celestial Empire finally caught up with the last train of the era and began to pursue the footsteps of the West...... (To be continued......)
