A few days ago, the emperor said that he would demolish part of the palace, which was scary enough, and this matter has just passed, and now there is another one to completely lift the sea ban? In front of all the ministers, Wang Chengen couldn't talk to the emperor directly, and it seems that only Xu Guangqi could talk directly with the emperor on any occasion, because Xu Guangqi belongs to the theoretical school and the academic school, calm and thoughtful! At the same time, he rarely gets involved in party disputes, and he is an emperor with integrity!

Xu Guangqi thought for a while and nodded, "This move of the emperor is not bold!" It can not be said that it is not timely, my Ming economy, please forgive the old minister, compared with the previous dynasties, in fact, there has been a regression, the problem lies in the sea ban! The territory of our Ming Dynasty is vast, the territory is vast, and the sea frontier accounts for most of it, if you give up such an important income as the coast, the impact on the country's economy is too great! ”

Qian Longxi snorted in his heart, he thought that the emperor's idea of fully lifting the sea ban was to communicate with Xu Guangqi in advance, and he had a deep grudge against Xu Guangqi, and if the sea ban was completely lifted, and no taxes were levied on fishermen, this was the state grabbing money from the hands of the wealthy people along the coast! Although the emperor was bent on plotting a new policy and made several measures to punish corruption, there was no clear policy aimed at the vested interests of the world's wealthy families! It can be said that it is almost impossible to fully lift the policy of lifting the maritime ban and implement it! The old minister also agrees with the emperor's point of view, lifting the sea ban will be beneficial to alleviate the pressure on the victims in the mainland, but once the sea ban is lifted, it will be a problem again! Starting from the switch in Long Qingye's hand, although it is only a small moon pass, although it can bring millions of taels of taxes to the imperial court every year, but at the same time, the imperial court will raise a group of troops specially used for coastal defense! The difficulty of exterminating the Japanese and the sea is even more difficult than the anti-people in the Central Plains! At the same time, in the face of this policy, the emperor was also asked to take into account the strong resistance pressure of these places in the rich coastal provinces. At the same time, if the sea ban is fully lifted, the preferential policies of the imperial court will be tilted towards fishermen, which will make the number of fishermen grow rapidly! The total population of my Ming Dynasty is less than 200 million, if the people in the Central Plains are all moving to the rich coastal provinces, then the Central Plains will be thousands of miles away? Do I want to give up such a vast land and live in a corner of peace? Please forgive the old minister for saying bluntly, the complete lifting of the sea ban should be delayed rather than rushed! ”

The reason why Qian Longxi dared to openly point out the negative impact of lifting the sea ban in this way is inconsistent with his character and personality, but through the observation of the events of the past few days, Qian Longxi realized that the emperor is a promising emperor, and if he does not show his talents, he will be kicked out of the cabinet sooner or later! At the same time, his own family is one of the wealthy families along the coast! The emperor's move involves too many aspects! Even if you are the emperor, the officials and wealthy families in so many provinces in the interior, the emperor's relatives and relatives, and the wealthy families along the coast will all be affected! The emperor's move offended not a part of the people, but almost the whole world!

Yuan Keli agreed with Qian Longxi's point of view, and continued, "Yes, this matter involves too many areas, even if the emperor has such an idea, it should be implemented gradually, within this year, at most open an additional wharf, and try the water temperature first, otherwise, it is very likely to arouse the collective opposition of the entire country's scholar class, and the situation is likely to be out of control!" Water can carry a boat and also capsize a boat, the common people are water, and the scholar class is also water! Our officials in the Ming Dynasty, but they are all from this class? The emperor might as well think about it, how many of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military students were born in the poor family? Zhang Juzheng's ten-year reform made the country quickly recover in a short period of time, but he harmed the interests of most of the people in power, but also laid the groundwork for his policies not to be implemented after his death, and then left a reputation for the ages! Emperor Wanwang has a more comprehensive view of the reform, and he must not act in a hurry! ”

If Qian Longxi's words also carry his personal self-interest, Yuan Keli more objectively pointed out the huge challenges that the emperor's reform will face!

Xu Guangqi snorted, "Every reform will face resistance, otherwise it will not be a reform!" Change is long, change is good! My Daming has reached the brink of economic paralysis, and if I look forward to the future at this time, it will not be possible until the death of Daming? Zhang Juzheng's reform, aside from the evaluation of Zhang Juzheng, his reform is progressive, and he is the best reformer in my Han nationality since the beginning of the Han Dynasty! Zhuge Wuhou is a legend, has it really brought any changes to the country? If no one sees it, it doesn't count! Wang Anshi of the Song Dynasty could say that the emperor would change the law, but he did not have the ability to implement the change, but Zhang Juzheng did it! Based on this alone, Zhang Juzheng's change is a success! If in the past 50 years, my Ming Dynasty has always followed Zhang Juzheng's unswerving implementation, and I would have been a rich country long ago! Where are today's calamities!? Don't forget jì, Zhang Juzheng is just the first assistant of the imperial court! And now the person who proposes to change the law is the emperor, the son of my Ming Dynasty, please don't get confused! ”

Qian Longxi and Yuan Keli were pushed back by Xu Guangqi in person, and the discussion turned into a scolding war! This is what Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen did not expect, his own views have just been thrown, and they have already been opposed so fiercely?

Wang Chengen, Cao Huachun and Yang Siqing have no right to speak when the ministers are deliberating, which makes Wang Chengen anxious, he knows the temper of these old men, if they quarrel and make a thing that hits the wall and dies, it will really be a big mess, these people are all cabinet ministers, not as good as a few officials!

Yuan Keli was furious, glared, and said to Xu Guangqi: "Brother Guangqi! Old man, this is just a matter of facts! My Ming national strength is so weak! At this time, internal and external troubles, the political situation of the imperial court is already unstable, and the emperor will be attacked everywhere at this time? The biggest reliance of the Ming Dynasty now is the tax money and grain of several rich provinces in the south of the Yangtze River! If at this time, because of the emperor's reform measures, there is a mess and an unmanageable situation, who will bear this responsibility? The emperor has just ordered us to enter the cabinet, can I look at the emperor's problems and not speak out? ”

Xu Guangqi was also angry! Holding the emperor's hand in one hand, he trembled slightly, "It's only a matter of time before something goes wrong!" Can the Jiannu in the north stop one day? Can the victims of the disaster in the Central Plains live and work in peace and contentment without food? If you can't live and work in peace and contentment, you can only steal this way, and the emperor will only suppress it! Lao Chen completely agrees! What do the common people want? The common people just want to be fed! Nothing more! If you don't let him eat, he will only be a thief, a thief for one day and a thief for life! After enjoying the comfortable life of being a thief, how could he be willing to go back to the pain of farming with his back to the loess? Now, as long as it can alleviate the pressure of the victims, even if it touches the interests of the world's wealthy households, it is worth it! These people are clutching the money and food in their hands, even if the country completely collapses, they will not give a penny! As long as the hearts of most of the people are towards the emperor, even if the world's wealthy families are against the emperor, the old ministers will also stand with the emperor! Moreover, touching their interests did not force them to a dead end! These wealthy families led by the emperor's relatives will never starve to death even if they have no income for ten years! The emperor lifted the sea ban, but he didn't say that he would deprive them of the land! If it weren't for the continuous fiefdom from the hands of Hong Wuye! Every emperor seals the world! Two-thirds of the world's fertile land is in the hands of the world's wealthy families, and the people will be so poor? Will the imperial court be so poor? When the people can't carry this court! What do you think you'll do? ”

Everyone present was shocked! Xu Guangqi didn't know if he was old and confused, or what, he didn't drink, and what he said was like a drunken talk, and the emperor was drunk anyway!

Qian Longxi and Yuan Keli trembled, Qian Longxi trembled and pointed at Xu Guangqi and said to the emperor, "Long live, Xu Guangqi is crazy!" The ministers openly judge the rights and wrongs of the emperor, and the old ministers are now impeaching him in front of the emperor! Impeach him for bullying the king! There is no national law, blatant rumors, and scattered the government! Lao Chen and Xu Guangqi are incompatible! There is no me and no other! If the emperor must Xu Guangqi enter the cabinet, the old minister will beg the emperor to let the old minister return to his hometown now! ”

Yuan Keli also knelt down, "Your Majesty, the old minister also has the same idea as Qian Longxi, if you want to work with Xu Guangqi!" The old minister also implored the emperor to allow the old minister to return to his hometown! ”

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen held Xu Guangqi's hand tightly, and the hands of both of them trembled slightly! The loneliness that the master and apprentice felt at this time was rare in eternity! ~

Xu Guangqi thinks about the community wholeheartedly, starting from his analysis! And Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen has been engaged in party and government work for many years in later generations! He already had a whole set of theories to back it up, and of course he knew that it was in the interests of the big landlord class! It is quite possible that these people united to overthrow the imperial power! In addition, a new king will be established! He could kill these two people at once, but he couldn't kill all the officials in the world at once! Do you really want to carry out land reform and get rid of your own life?

Reform is always too moderate, and only the medicine of revolution can turn the tide! Of course, he could not immediately make a revolution from the perspective of the proletarians, which in itself was unrealistic and did not conform to Zhu Youzhen's political pursuit! He always believed that the reform from feudal imperial power to imperial capitalism was more in line with the characteristics of this era, and it was more able to influence the changes of this era, and the times needed power! The regression and backwardness of the Han people have fallen on the weak and mediocre!

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen was quiet, making the entire city tower unusually quiet, Yuan Keli and Qian Longxi knelt on the ground, not knowing what the emperor was thinking, Xu Guangqi was held by the emperor, standing beside the emperor, and he didn't know what the emperor was thinking, Wang Chengen, Cao Huachun and Yang Siqing were even more anxious and sweating! In all fairness, none of the three old eunuchs agreed with the emperor's point of view, and from the point of view of loyalty, there was no eunuch who was not loyal to the emperor! The emperor is equivalent to their lifeline, they do not agree with the emperor's point of view, not mainly from their own interests, but feel that if they do this, it is very likely that the emperor will fall into a situation from which they will never recover!

Yuan Keli couldn't help it and raised his head, "Your Majesty, don't think about it, the old minister can sue the emperor in advance, even if you directly depose the cabinet!" Directly issued the middle order! At most, your will will be issued in the capital division, and it will not reach the local level at all, because the whole country will oppose it! ”

Wang Chengen glanced at the emperor worriedly, judging from his understanding of the emperor's changes in the past few days, he was worried that the emperor would personally draw his sword and cut Yuan Keli at this moment!

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen tried hard to control the expression on his face, and his muscles were still twitching slightly! He's not angry! At least not exactly angry, he has some hatred! Hates this world, why is this class that does not think about the people occupying a completely dominant position! Even if he is an emperor! It is necessary to carry out reform and carry out the great cause of changing the law! It's also hard work!

"Qian Longxi, Yuan Keli, you two get up, if you still recognize me as the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, stand up immediately!" Emperor Chongzhen's tone was bland, if he hadn't been able to do it for a hundred years, he wouldn't have been able to do it!

Qian Longxi and Yuan Keli wiped their old tears and stood up, the emperor's words were very heavy, and the old ministers who had been soaked all their lives under the feudal loyalty and patriotic thoughts, even if there were economic problems, but if they really said that they wanted to oppose their own monarch, few people could do it, especially the monarch who succeeded him, no matter how mediocre he was, he would have a large number of supporters until he died! Not to mention cabinet ministers! The angry words and political positions just now do not mean that they don't want the emperor anymore!

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen saw the two old ministers stand up, and calmed down a little, he was not discouraged, and his feelings were shocked to death! He's still scrappy! No love can surpass the love of a monarch for his country! The emperor's heart was full of love!
